The Band

Jim Spicer, Gregg Maddalo, and your truly's band. I am away in the United States Air Force obviously so playing w/these guys is a little harder than expected. These guys are excellent musicians and song writers without a doubt and I miss them completely. Check out our site MilkJug and take a listen to the demo we created two summers ago.


The Music View Of One Called Doc

This week's cd I chose was Sarah McLachlan's Surfacing. Idealy one of the coolest cd's in my collection because the cd is absolutely incredible. Sarah's song-writing is incredible and her voice relaxes every muscle in your body when you listen to this cd. With the usual songs that everyone knows like, "Building A Mystery", "I Love You", "Adia", "Do What You Have To Do", and "Sweet Surrender", my favorite highlights are two songs that w/o a doubt are her two best. "Witness" and "Full Of Grace" These two songs I listen to before I go to bed 'cause I love listening to her voice and the songs are completely beautiful. The harmonies and the music makes it a great combination for a beautifully written song.


Guitar Lesson Of The Week

This week I am going to talk about easy ways to strengthen your fingers for added flexibility on the fingerboard of the guitar. All you have to do is basically hold you guitar and do chromatic scales such as a 1-2-3-4 pattern w/your fingers for each string. After doing so, try varying the patterns with combinations like 1-3-2-4, 1-2-4-3, 3-1-2-4, etc. This will hurt like hell but do so for a half hour each day and you'll gain speed and frexibility.
